Current Behavior

Is anyone else having an issue with the iPhone Local Run/Test button in FlutterFlow Desktop?

When I select my iPhone and press the Test button for local run, the Local Run Logs stay completely blank and the app does not properly start/update from FlutterFlow.

Manual flutter run from Terminal works, so the phone and Flutter setup seem okay. But FlutterFlow Desktop does not appear to start or attach the local runner.

I also tested macOS as the target and got the same blank-log behavior, so this may be a broader Desktop Local Run issue.

I’m on FlutterFlow Desktop 7.0.12. Has anyone found a fix or workaround?

Important diagnostic detail:
Manual flutter run from Terminal works using FlutterFlow’s bundled Flutter SDK. It builds, installs, launches on my iPhone, and hot reload works from Terminal.

However, FlutterFlow Desktop’s Test button does not appear to start or attach the expected runner processes such as flutter run, xcodebuild, iproxy, or the Flutter dev service. The Local Run Logs stay blank.

I also tested macOS as the selected target device, and the same blank-log issue happens. So this appears to be a general FlutterFlow Desktop Local Run bridge issue, not only an iPhone connection issue.

I tried reinstalling FlutterFlow Desktop and reinstalling/downloading the Flutter SDK. I also tried FlutterFlow Desktop v6.4, but the project cannot open there because it requires the newer FlutterFlow version.

Please escalate this as a FlutterFlow Desktop Local Run/Test bridge issue. I need either a fix, workaround, or patched desktop build. Thank you kindly

Expected Behavior

When I select my iPhone as the local run target and press the iPhone Local Run/Test button, FlutterFlow Desktop should start the local runner, show build/runtime output in the Local Run Logs panel, launch or update the app on the connected iPhone, and allow hot reload/hot restart from FlutterFlow.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open FlutterFlow Desktop.
2. Open an existing project.
3. Open the Test, Run & Publish panel.
4. Select a connected iPhone as the Local Run target.
5. Press the iPhone Local Run/Test button.
6. Observe that the Local Run Logs panel stays blank.
7. Observe that FlutterFlow Desktop does not appear to start or attach the local runner.
8. Switch the Local Run target to macOS.
9. Press Test again.
10. Observe the same blank Local Run Logs behavior.

Manual flutter run from Terminal works on the same machine, so the issue appears specific to FlutterFlow Desktop’s Local Run/Test flow.

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Hello!

I wasn't able to reproduce this issue on my end. Could you share a screenshot of the Code Export section in your Local Run setup? I'd like to see which options are currently toggled on and off.

Hey Ale Thank you for looking into it. I had created a video for one of the Flutter Flow customer service representatives and I have attached it here for you. Also i give a screenshot of my code export as it is right now. Again thank you kindly for looking into this to help me out.
